The Most Luxurious Designer iPhone 6 Cases

Ahead of next month’s Apple Watch launch, Cupertino has been going all out to become a fashion insider.

It invited major fashion editors and other tastemakers to its September press event, made a special appearance at Paris Fashion Week, got the watch featured on the cover of Chinese Vogue and Self, and purchased a 12-page ad spread in the March issue of U.S. Vogue.

For now, however, it does not appear as if major fashion houses can make much money off Apple Watch, unless designer watch bands become a thing. And so, most focus their attention on cases for Apple’s other popular products, like the iPhone.

Just try to find another device that's bedecked, bejeweled, and bedazzled nearly as much as Apple’s smartphone. The iPhone 6 has only been around since the fall, and it's already made its way into street-style snaps. So buying a case from just any vendor won't do.

If you want your iPhone 6 to shine bright like a diamond among the fashion set, you want something unique. We've scanned the runways and blogs for some you might want to consider, so settle in for some virtual window-shopping. Some are outrageously pricey, but all of them are style stars.
